What's up guys, Just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm not new to SC I just stumbled on this thread and glad I did. Theres not a large Evo crowd in Sumter I was starting to feel a little out of place. Anyways I've had my Evo for just under a year now, got some basic mods done, putting a BR 3065r on it in a couple weeks or so just for some added fun. That's about it, I'll prolly see some of you around sometime.

LOL! I bet. I grew up in that area for the most part. My mother lives out by Shaw AFB, so I'm down that way quite often, but not too much in the EVO. Definitely not enough to see what's down that way. I've seen a GG EVO out by Shaw a few times but that's it.

Anyway, don't be a stranger mang! We're all fairly close around here so hopefully we'll see you when we can get a meet together!

 

That sucks man. I joined the SCCA in hopes of trying to be competitive this year. So I'll make as many auto-x's I can. I should be able to knock the back springs out tonight. Tomorrow I'll have to get the car aligned.

BTW, BIG ups to ya bruh for helping me out with the front! It went very easily with ya helping me out. Thanks!

 

Let me know how the rears go tonight.

 

a little over 100 people signed up for the autox so far...between 6-8 signed up for SM class...

 

I'm living about 2-3 miles off the base right now; I'm usually not driving evo around either but if you see it (TB, fully tinted, Black rims, and red emblems and some decals on the way to hide a few scratches ) shoot me a honk or somthing.
I'm usually seen in my POS(<===Trademark) Isuzu trooper with squealing brakes and a valve tick you can hear from 100 yards away.

Anyways it's good to see I'm not alone. Talk to you guys later.

 

i'll be up in the area...but i'll be fishing. I can give you a call after i get back in to see if you guys are still around.

 

There is a UFC fight saturday night. Usually we go to Buffalo Wild Wing but I'll go anywhere to watch it if you guys wanna go.

 

Had a great time today at the Auto-X..
BJ(06MREvo) took 2nd.. [he missed 1st by .160]
I got 5th..
Lecon got 7th

Lecon, can you send me the pics you took of me, plz..

Missed ya Dave? You catch anything?
ltr. Jamie

 

caught some sun. i didnt really expect to catch anything with the water temp being so cold. it was pretty much to take my gear out and make sure everythign works and i have everything i need. have to get ready for the fishing season especially when i'll be in hawaii.

 

Wow, Dave. What are you a pro angler or something? Sounds like you're ready for some serious biznizz when you head to the other side of the world.

 

Jamie, thanks for the pics! I didn't think anybody got any pics of the action. I still haven't even looked at my camera or the in-car footage. Still disappointed! But I will soon and I'll email ya the pics I took and post them in here.

 

Still disappointed for what man? You and Jamie still did a great job. Both of you just need more seat time. I told jamie already too, if you want to do a ride along with me or ill ride with you also and try and give you some pointers let me know...i'm by far no autox expert...i just keep my right foot planted the whole time...

 

yeah, i'm the serious fisherman in the family. we make it a family thing. i'll have a little fishing buddy for years to come now.

 

I was disappointed because I was slower this time than I was the last time on a course we technically should have excelled at. In my mind, I should be getting faster each time, maybe an occassional hiccup here and there, so maybe last weekend was my hiccup! I'm nothing if not competitive, especially with my own thoughts/feelings toward this thing. I sense the same with you BJ, where we know we can do better. I don't think I'll be satisfied until I'm in the top 3.

I think I also overpowered these brake pads. I've been steered toward the HP+'s for the r-compound tire, auto-x apps. The Spec R's are GREAT springs from my initial perspective. They ride great, though stiffer than my old Hotchkis ones, but turn in is crisp, no rubbing etc.
